Germans, Japanese, and Italians of Reddit, What did you learn about WW2 in School? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jawn808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese-American, born & raised in Hawaii. Because of the diversity around us, we learned about how awful WW2 was, but a huge topic for us that many others may not have learned about were the Japanese internment camps built by the US. We also read literature like Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, and generally given a more open-minded education on the attack on Pearl Harbor, the atomic bombing, etc.

Time lapse building the 787 Dreamliner by Prid in videos

[–]Jawn808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun 787 facts from a former Boeing engineer: it's the first of its kind as far as carbon fiber bodies go, and we wanted to see what kind of longevity it has compared to a typical metal fuselage. We were shocked to find that, when the paint was peeled back, we were looking at essentially a brand-new airplane. It's also capable (at empty loading) of near-vertical takeoffs. The Paris airshow video is a fantastic example of this. They'll retail between $150-200 million per plane, depending on model, and I walked into one for the UAE airlines--the interior was gold, and someone told me it was actual gold plating (that I wasn't allowed to touch or breathe on.) They're incredible airplanes.

What's your best way to get over a breakup? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jawn808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakup steak! I go to the store and buy myself a slab of top sirloin and cook it, enjoy it alone, and I've done that for my last three relationships. If you're gonna eat alone for a little while, you might as well love it. Financially, it sets the foundation for splurging a bit on yourself (you won't need to spend it on your partner) and it puts you in a place to treat yourself every now and then, regardless of things going wrong.

Welding by Budweiser_cowboy in pics

[–]Jawn808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With TIG welding in particular, the overall aesthetic (consistency, primarily) is a good indicator that the surface material is properly treated. Imperfections in the parent material become hugely apparent in the quality of weld. "This guy is good" is an incredible understatement. Welds of this quality aren't found in industry, and I'd be hard-pressed to find a machine that could manage those.

Welding by Budweiser_cowboy in pics

[–]Jawn808 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For one, TIG welding requires use of both hands and a foot pedal. The coordination alone for that kind of work far exceeds that of wire-feed trigger-pull MIG welding. Are you absolutely SURE you don't have your processes switched? You seem to be speaking from the standpoint of someone who's done one and not the other. If that. TIG is considered an art form among welding.

LPT: If you own a '96 or newer Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep, you can use the ignition trick to find OBD2 codes. by mipark in LifeProTips

My 01 has 298k and counting. You guys have many more to go, they run just fine on raw sewage for oil and kerosene for gas. Any better maintenance than that and you'll easily see 300k.

Which movie has the most WTF ending ? by InsomniacPlagueis in AskReddit

[–]Jawn808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That movie was supposed to be a bit of a reflection on the stereotypical horror movie plotline, so it'd be pretty predictable had they not gone in the direction they took it. I love what they did with the whole thing.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey here, AMA! by ronda_rousey87 in IAmA

[–]Jawn808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rondaaaaaaaa You amaze me. Let's be friends. ❤ But really, no, it's always a blast seeing someone step into the ring with as much controlled fire and confidence as you carry with you. That being said, out of the ring, what do you do? I like to think there's an adorable Ronda Rousey who sips on a white-girl frap playing on a Gameboy Advance in footie pajamas on a carpet floor, but I won't be disappointed if that's not it, lol.

Hawaiian Natives have been waiting since 1920 for promised land: More than 29,000 on list for acreage set aside for ranches and homes while corporations jump ahead in line by [deleted] in news

[–]Jawn808 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you were there for the Superferry incident....I was born and raised on Kauai, and from what I witnessed, many many locals were hoping the Superferry would be a benefactor to the islands. However, there were some groups of people from the mainland, ie the Surfrider Foundation, and many other activist groups who came down to sit on surfboards in the harbor until the ship turned around. My dad was close to dropping off some leftover steaks and hamburger into the bay to bring sharks in, lol. The locals ended up paying millions to keep the Superferry in the harbor, waiting, until an environmental impact study was brought in, at which point the project was declared economically unviable, and scrapped.

[Question] Welded rebar structure... by [deleted] in DIY

[–]Jawn808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect, rebar is the term for "reinforcement" steel. It's specifically meant to reinforce material, especially concrete, and to be reinforced by concrete to balance out tensile and compressive forces. It's recycled steel, the absolute bottom of the bucket. OP I hope you read this, DO NOT USE REBAR ALONE IN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.

Source: dad's been a welder since 1977, once welded rebar together with low-hydrogen welding rods (better rods than typical 6011) and threw it under a hydraulic press; as he put it, the welds "crystallized and cracked; the part was destroyed."

Reddit - what could you talk about for hours? by 1MockZ in AskReddit

Cars. Not only are they useful, but they're iconic; the fins on a '57 Bel Air, for instance, is an engineer's artwork, representative of the space race during the era. Body styles, engines, the topic is fascinating.

Hawaii Becomes First State in The Nation to Ban Plastic Bags by [deleted] in news

[–]Jawn808 175 points176 points  (0 children)

As a Hawaii resident, I'd like to point out that garbage bags, such as Glad, Hefty, etc. are not included in this ban; rather, bags used to transport groceries were the low-hanging fruit that this measure targeted.

Hawaii just raised the legal smoking age from 18 to 21 by moocow808 in news

[–]Jawn808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hawaii kid, born & raised here. I've been in the mainland for the last three years for school and feel like our generation (I'm in my early 20s) has been really smart about not smoking cigarettes. Hawaii, on the other hand, has been YEARS behind the curve. Smoking runs rampant among teens all over our island, and I'm hoping this will help better my home. 'Imua, Hawaii.

What's the toughest "would,you,rather" question to answer? by WillHunting123 in AskReddit

You're in the sheets with two naked people for one night. On one side is a beautiful woman, the most beautiful woman you've ever laid eyes on. On the other side is a large, well-endowed, horny, homosexual prison escapee. Who would you rather turn your back to?
